[QUOTE="Lovinlife, post: 2362763, member: 292050"] Hi Dave! I could have wrote your message! background retinopathy I had this and the following year it reversed and clear 4 yrs since So there is hope and background is the mildest form High sugars/insulin resistance in the morn I am plagued with this. What helps is taking my glucophage before bed works wonders also avoiding eating before bed maybe a very small snack if absolutely necessary. Unpredictable sugars yes thats me and it is soul destroying and so frustrating Like you I note an error and the following day I change something but it goes totally against me. You would feel like giving up but when I look at my time in range on the Dexcom its actually not all that bad! I am a perfectionist and can be very hard on myself so I try my best not to let it get to me as I have had and still manage anxiety and i know it is hugely related to managing this horrible disease. So my advice is dont be too hard on your self protect your mental health. I try to eat plenty of foods packed with antioxidants in particular anything with lutein and zeanthine (pardon my spelling) as these two are very good for the eyes! So what you cant fix I hope the antioxidants step in reducing inflammation and the oxidative stress caused by high blood sugars (google this many diseases and diabetic complications caused by oxidative stress) Plenty of avocados spinach green tea anything colourful! Manage stress get enough sleep enough excercise and enjoy life have fun (hard these days ) not too much alcohol no smoking....all these things will give your body the best chance to survive the ravages of high sugar And remember many people have lived for many many years without ever getting any or just mild complications. Wishing you all the health in the world! [/QUOTE]
